However\, in the simplest cas e of two-particle dynamics\,\nthere remains a controversy on whether a two -ion planar crystal\nundergoes an order-to-chaos transition at a critical\ , well-defined\ntrap parameter value. Via analytical and numerical investi gation of\nthe Mathieu-Coulomb equations\, I show that the transition does not\nexist.\n DTSTAMP:20250517T052452Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
